Comments from a Director of a U.S. Subsidiary

Q1 What was the status of your company’s international expansion at the beginning?

We had only decided to establish a subsidiary in the United States.

We received a wide range of advice from lawyers and market research necessary for establishing a subsidiary, visa acquisition, and points to keep in mind when exhibiting at trade shows, as well as advice on how to find housing, how to obtain a driver’s license, and other matters related to life in the US.

Q2 Did the advice you received from Paccloa have a positive impact on your international expansion?

We were able to proceed smoothly and efficiently thanks to the appropriate advice we received each time according to the progress of our international expansion.

Q3 What did you think of the sometimes harsh advice?

All of the advice was right on target, and I never felt that it was particularly harsh.

Q4 Have you consulted with any other experts or consultants regarding international expansion?

Yes, I have.

Q5 What, if anything, has made a lasting impression on you?

We have always received kind and detailed advice.

Not only do she give us appropriate answers to our questions, but she also alerts us to areas where we need to take a step further and gives us opinions from other perspectives, which makes us aware of points we had not taken into consideration before.

Since the local expatriate is a woman, she also gave me advice on points to keep in mind when living in the U.S. from a woman’s point of view, which was very helpful.
